WEDGE TOMB: GIANT'S GRAVE

What is recorded here

Mnemo knows the roots of every claim and remembers the distinction between living memory and dead address. The chamber is a wedge-shaped cut through the regional claim, not a generic placeholder. An unknown person may have measured that cut, marked it and kept the distinction alive. The chamber is a place to remember that claims need shape, facts and the loss of an unknown witness.
